Ingredients Needed:

- 1 1/2 ounces chilled Spiced Simple Syrup, recipe follows
- 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- Few dashes bitters
- Ice
- Lime wedge, for garnish
Spiced Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 whole allspice berries
- 8 whole cloves
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
How To Make Harvest Margarita Recipe?
- Prepare the Spiced Simple Syrup: Combine the sugar, 240ml water, allspice, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 1 hour. Strain and refrigerate until cold.
- Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, Spiced Simple Syrup, lime juice, bitters, and ice. Shake for 10 seconds.
- Serve: Strain into a glass and serve straight up or on the rocks. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Recipe Tips:
- Use good quality tequila: A premium reposado tequila, like Patron, will give your margarita a smoother and richer taste.
- Make sure the Spiced Simple Syrup is fully chilled: This helps balance the drink and prevents it from getting too warm when mixed.
- Don’t overdo the bitters: Just a few dashes are enough to add depth without overpowering the drink.
- Shake well: Shake the ingredients for 10 seconds to ensure everything is properly mixed and chilled.
- Adjust the syrup sweetness: If you like a sweeter drink, feel free to add a little more syrup to suit your taste.
How To Store Leftovers?
The cocktail itself should be made fresh, but you can store the Spiced Simple Syrup in the fridge for up to 1 week. Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
